Scores of Scientists Raise Alarm About the Long-Term Health Effects of Cellphones

Source: Mother Jones, Date: May , 2015

Are government officials doing enough to protect us from the
potential long-term health effects of wearable devices and cellphones? Maybe
not. A letter released today, signed by 195 scientists from 39 countries, calls
on the United Nations, the World Health Organization (WHO), and national
governments to develop stricter controls on these and other products that
create electromagnetic fields (EMF)."Based on peer-reviewed, published
research, we have serious concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing
exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices," reads the
letter, whose signatories have collectively published more than 2,000
peer-reviewed papers on the subject. "The various agencies setting safety
standards have failed to impose sufficient guidelines to protect the general
public, particularly children who are more vulnerable to the effects of
EMF."
